I’m sure I have put this on the Hebburn Site years ago. I was introduced to Cathrine Cookson by my childhood friend Mary Campbell and her family. I used to go to her house most early evenings and listen to her dad reading a Cathrine Cookson book to her Mother, while Mrs Campbell used to be making the most beautiful quilts on a large frame, all sewn by hand. I remember it was the Mary Anne stories. That must have been the early 1950’s. Happy memories.
